Hello BlueWaterSailor, @Overnight is cool with me. I like him. He is cool and he means well. I respect him for trading live with a journal. He is doing good man. Just like all the rest of us , he has to keep on going and keep on clicking to get rich. He is poor trader just like me and the rest of us ET members trying to get rich in futures man. It is what it is.
That's my take on him as well. Maybe I missed the "serial killer and torturer of small animals in disguise" aspect, but I kinda doubt it. Way I figure it, each one of us is best left alone - with help and advice when asked for - to work out our own damnation. Those who want to make others' lives harder by crapping on them without reason are miserable jerks who are best laughed at and ignored. Ah, deep philosophy.
The thread has become so fragmented because of all the ignoring and blocking...It is exactly why I HATE that feature. A couple of points here... A. Darc now has me on /block, which is ironical, because he was my most feverish fan, for some reason I cannot recall. I told him many times in the past to stop the fucking ON worship, as it was getting creepy. Something I said in a different thread must have finally given him the message to stop the unholy worship. But I thought he would just stop posting his deific praises of me...Not just block me outright. Oh well, what the fuck ever. B. The reason Darc is going on about still being able to see your posts is because, as you show in that picture, you are /ignoring him. When you /ignore someone, YOU can no longer see THEIR posts, but THEY can still see YOURS. It is only if one of you does a full /block on the other where neither of you will see eithers' posts. C. It has been a lonnnngggg time since I have given out an ET award, but you, BWS, have won the latest one... The ET "Word-never-used-on-the-forum-ever" award, issued annually, for using the word "Milksop" in a post. Congo rats!
As a friend of mine used to say, "there's no believer - or atheist - as fervent as a new one." I'm not surprised; there was that smell of jilted admirer in the air, along with an almost womanly peevishness; a personal sort of spite. This would explain it. (If he was sending you feverish protestations of eternal love and graphic offers to do, um, things to your body that would have made Heliogabalus blush, now would be the time to publish them. Don't worry, it wouldn't reflect on you... but it would entertain the rest of us.) But... that's ideal! As long as I don't see his drivel, he's welcome to grit his teeth to splinters over what I write. In fact, it's the perfect solution for those l'esprit de l'escalier moments - if I happen to think of something that fits his pissy-bitch attitude, he's welcome to that, too. I typically write to the level of the reader - an old habit from my Editor-in-Chief days - but I assure you that I can spool up some verbal fireworks when they're called for (they weren't, here; the subject writhing on the end of the pin wasn't worth the space in my insect collection.) E.g., I actually know what all the words in Peter Bowler's abecedarian insult mean... and have applied a few of them on occasion. "You, sir, are an apogenous, bovaristic, coprolalial, dasypygal, excerebrose, facimorous, gnathonic, hircine, ithyphallic, jumentous, kyphotic, labrose, mephitic, napiform, oligophrenial, papuliferous, quisquilian, rebarbative, saponaceous, thersitical, ungiunous, ventripotent, wlatsome, xylocephalous, yirning zoophyte!"
You motherfucker, don't play the stupid card on me. I could not see your posts an hour ago, and had to go /anon to see what the hell was going on with thread flow.
THIS! GODAMNIT, THIS! ^^^^^^^^ If THAT ABOVE are elememtary schools' new "A, B Cs" song? In 20 years we will be smarter than China! Whoop!
Hahahaha... you rock, man! Me, I wish they taught the basics of rational thought, effective communication, and how to be a responsible, courageous, self-reliant human being with integrity - but what do I know. Except there are too damn few of those in this world...
